Construction Engineering

Construction engineers will have: a view of the entire construction process in addition to their specialty, professional knowledge management, problem-solving abilities, financial thinking, management skills, cooperation skills, IT skills, language skills, and international know-how, making it possible to work anywhere in the world.

In Construction Engineering you focus on structural engineering and the design of load-bearing structures. Understanding of the structures and building information modelling (BIM) skills play an important role. These skills are valued in the field and will help your future career in construction.

You learn about construction technology, structural systems in buildings and how to plan a building project. You get to dive into the mechanics, mathematics, technical drawing and CAD. You also get an understanding of 3D visualisation and the necessary IT skills.

Here at HAMK you learn through practice with actual engineering cases and teamwork. For example, in 2022 new Construction Engineering students began their studies with a team competition on who designed and built the most polished and durable wooden bridge.
